Human dentition and experimental animals
Abstract
A review of the recent literature concerning enamel maturation patterns following cessation of protein matrix secretion confirms that developing rodent enamel exhibits an overall mineral distribution different from that of developing enamel in man, monkey, dog, and swine. This seems to be a result of structural differences of the enamel as the pattern of crystal growth appears similar in these species. Whether the differences in enamel structure are reflected in significant differences in cellular events leading to enamel formation and mineralization remain unknown, as detailed radioautographic and ultrastructural studies almost always have dealt with rodent teeth. It is therefore concluded that such studies should be initiated in experimental animals having an enamel formation and mineralization pattern strictly comparable to that of man. Some requirements for such an experimental animal are suggested.
